I thought things were smooth sailing I was quite content spending my life as a smoker.. things got much easirer for me in fact after My sixth birthday. That’s when uncle Jeb started making the moon shine out back and I could bum his smokes,, he got so drunk he could not keep count,, things even impoved after he lost his car
No not his licence,, he lost the whole dam car. We had a search party looking for it , but never found it causin he never gave it a name for us’en to hollor ,, and non of us new how to speak in Horn to call it in car talk,,
.anyways after he lost his car. He’d send me to the town store with his lunch box,, see the man at the store would not sell me the smokes.. but for some reason would sell them to Jebs lunch box.. so Jeb put some money in there and a list
The store man,, uncle red would take the money out and put in cigarettes. Then I would just take out a pack and tell uncle Jeb
They were having a half off sale.. that’s when you only get half of what you ordered.. He said “oh.. never herd of them” but the next day would order twice as much,,,
Don’t think uncle jeb was ever accused of being to bright.. in fact some called him 5 watt.. Poor guy blew him self up one day smoking in that shed making the moon shine.. Lucky I stored up enough smokes to get me threw the 3rd grade
By the time I got in the forth grade I was getting real sweet on a girl and momma said if I was gonna date my sister I would have to quit smoking so I quit for a while till about the sixth grade. Then momma was saying we was gonna have to get married and move out.. well I figured it was just better to go back to smoking.. its not like she was a real sister,, we just found her on the side of the road one day. Looking back I guess I should a stayed quit and got married.
I quit again when I was 14 the wraslin coach said I could not smoke an wrasle cause the cigaretes was burning them other fellers
But after wraslin I went back to smoking.. back then it was Ok to smoke at school as long as your teacher did ,, so it worked out good for me staying in the seventh grade till I gradguated
After graduating I got a job driving real fast to other places
Bringing them moon shine and tabbacy. It was lots of fun and I meet lets of nice folks from all over the world.. glen county
Washington county, Sparta county, next county,, not sure if that’s a real place we just call it next county, causin its next to this’in
And allen county..
That was a good job cause I got my cigarettes for free for driven so good.. I never once got busted by the police
But I had to quite that job when momma went back to jail.. I forget what she went in for that time.. might have been the time
She was caught growing the mary jane behind the court house
She had this idea they would never look there,, guess it was not such a good idea. Momma said she was framed and it was the judges,, but I don’t think that defence went well ,, she got an extra nine moths for some new charge called .. lier lier pants on fire
Back them there were just about 8 or 9 of us so I didn’t have to many to watch or take care of and they all could feed them selfs
Cept the baby he was just 5 so he was pissed he could not breast feed anymore.. but momma was gonna cut him off for school started anyhow.. she was not allowed to go to the school at lunch time…
Well guess this gets me up to about 18,,
As we all now I finally did find a good quit.. but its important in remember in how we got here
And so know you know some of the story
